line of graceful. bare-fect women follow

stony path, carrying baskets. These were
tea pluckers on their way TO ''the store, y
a large building which is the storehouse

each woman or child's ingathering is
weighed and the amount credited to her,
the leaves are spread upon the garnet floor
to wither. Next they are taken TO long
table which has beautiful polish and is
stained to lovely mahogany by tea juice.
A row of men stand on each side of the
table The withered leaves are brought
down from the garret and distributed in
piles, a pile for each two opposite work
ers. Then they begin long. monoto-
